“Sti[zo] - [dually translated to I_SET and WHAT[LIVE]”

Three women who experience, each in her own way, the concept of loss and attempt to deal with it by meeting themselves. The same women once before and once after. In their youth, they experience the future as fear - in their maturity, the past as a tormenting memory. They unfold their narrative by carving out stigmas and being trapped within intangible boundaries, such that it would be enough to simply walk a few steps to cross them. But more often than not, they are unable to realise the simplicity of such an undertaking, so the required effort becomes unbearable. Nothing that happens on stage is set in the same time-period as us-spectators, other than a transparency of form that renders time as something familiar: we do not watch what is happening, but only what has already happened at the same time as something that will happen, and yet everything unfolds before our eyes. Even if we have no way out of it, there is an inherent and precious possibility of choices, the multiplicity of which brings us right up against something that often eludes us.
